Is there an alternative to the wireless network adapter for xbox 360 live?

I want to be able to connect to live in my room, but the computer and router are in another room, so I need some type of wireless connection. I know the adapter that is small and connects via usb, but my friend told me he heard about a gaming wireless adapter(third party ), and it looks like a small router and also connects via usb. The reason I’m asking is because I can’t afford to get the small one at the moment with other stuff that I want/need.
Would I be able to have a wireless router in my room, and plug my 360 directly to it, if there is already another wireless router in the house?

Can I plug a ethernet cable into a wireless router?

Basically, I just bought Ethernet plugs which connect to a wireless router and then to a power supply. Then I plug another one in my room and use an ethernet cable to connect online.

But I want to transmit this connection as a wireless signal where I am using a wireless router.

I’m adding a wireless Access Point to my wireless network. What do I set the SSID & channel to?

Right now my wireless router and my new wireless access point are set to the same SSID & have the same WEP key. My intent is to have my devices talk to whichever unit has the stronger signal. Should they have the same channel too or will this cause some data collision or confusion?

Also, what about the MAC address? Should I set it the same too?
